Im just curious how often everything is backuped. The game seemed to have a hiccup for a couple of minutes today and it reminded me of the times in the past where everything has went down and alot of the data was lost. Considering I've invested quite a bit of time in the game I'm hoping it is backed up often.

Hmmm good question. Irri where are you........

I think Iiri mentioned somewhere in the forums that the backups were fixed, don't know how often they run but I remember SL going down and it being restored to within 1 months time

It is backed up daily at least that is what I suppose from a few posts.
I do remember a few down times when Iiri mentioned that some scores had been rolled back because of the need to go back to the last back up.

The game database is backed up daily, with weekly and monthly backups as well. The cause of the last major downtime was a hard disk failure, which cost a pretty penny to recover - and significant shipping time. As a result, the data should be stored as well on a second hard disk with an automated copy function.
